Not all mov files accepted by i-tunes

Movies from my G1X camera are not all converted to i-pad by i-tunes.Why??? Can't see no difference in MOV-files!

MOV-files are sometimes accepted by synch and sometimes not.
If not, Quick Time is involved in i-tunes (in i-tunes itself the video will run!) If you convert these MOV-files to mpeg4 and place the converted files in the i-Tunes Library (like you do with all videos), and in the next step excecute synch for i-pad all videas are able to perform on i-pad.

  • "The file is not a movie file."

    Hey Everyone,
    I have a series of .avi files that, up until recently, I was able to watch using QuickTime and on my television through my EyeHome box...
    Due to a hard drive failure, I had to copy these files to another hard drive. Now when I double-click on one, I get a message from QuickTime stating "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
    Meanwhile, though, I can still play these same files using VLC Media Player. So what gives? Why would files that were previously playable with QuickTime suddenly stop working?
    Yes - I've got all the latest software updates, etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I, too am having similar problems. I had upgraded to QT 7.4 and my FCP 4.5 would no longer launch. I Archived and Reinstalled my osx 10.3.9. Now, all my MPEG-1 files that were previously useable in QT give me the "The movie could not be opened" message. The video is viewable in VLC, however.
    I do have QT Pro 7. I cannot use MPEG Streamclip. When I try to open with MPEG Streamclip, I do not get any video.
    I have purchased the Apple QT 6 MPEG-2 PLAYBACK, but that didn't help. I don't know if there is a playback component I had before that I don't have since the Reinstall.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Premiere pro will not import .mov files

    Premiere pro CS3 running on Vista 64 bit will not import .mov files. After Effects CS4 has the same problem, it says I don't have the correct version of Quick Time installed. I'm using the 64 bit version 7.6.4 for Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, what is inside that .MOV "wrapper?" This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers." It is mainly written with .AVI in mind, but translates to most AV file formats, including .MOV.
    Now, I use a lot of .MOV files and these are all done in the Animation CODEC. Never an issue for me.
    One thing that might aid you is the US$30 upgrade/unlock key to QT Player Pro. It can Export as a bunch of useful formats/CODEC's. Depending on whether your footage is SD, or HD, you can Export most to formats that play perfectly with PrPro.
    Good luck,

  • Quick Time Pro - The movie could not be open. This is not a movie file.

    I upgraded to 7.4.5 and now I can't view any of my AVI files. I am getting the following error message.
    The movie could not be open. This is not a movie file. Please help!

    It is most likley a problem in the new Quick Time (QT). My Updater downloaded the new QT 7.4.5 two Saturdays ago. I have been making movies in iMovie then posting them to YouTube. In the beginning I uploaded the movies as MOVs but soon discovered AVI files (larger file and added time to upload) had more clarity when viewed on YouTube. Once the new QT 7.4.5 downloaded all my AVIs had picture, but no sound! I downloaded the Perian component as posted in QT discussions. The sound returned to the AVI files. However, when I Exported an AVI movie from iMovie the picture quality was worse than MOV. There is something wrong with the new QT 7.4.5 when working with AVI, my AVI movies look terrible. These AVI files were all downloaded from my Ultra Flip Video camera with Flip’s codec 3vix. Flip is aware of this problem and acknowledged it last week, I sure hope Apple is also aware.

  • Quicktime: The movie could not be opened.  The file is not a movie file.

    Hi, im sorry to say im a bit challenged when it comes to this so i hope you can help!...
    Im trying to import the movies from my Sony video recorder (handycam DCR-SR32) and when i open the folder for it on the desktop and try to open one of the files it says: quicktime: The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file. All the files have quicktime icons next to them and i definitely have quicktime installed. I managed to import movie filed before into imovie and im trying again to do so... any clues as to what im doing wrong or how i can get the files into imovie to play and edit?? many thanks in advance

  • Quick time 'this is not a movie file' error message

    PLEASE HELP!
    i've recently downloaded some movies off the internet (.avi files) and although all have originally opened and played in quicktime, i am now getting 'this is not a movie file' error messages for all of them. I've had this before and restarting the computer has usually helped - but not this time. I've also tried reinstalling quicktime, as well as installing divx (i get an error message saying this file cannot be opened). for some reason i can't install VLC (some message about not being able to mount).
    I've also burnt the files to a cd and tried playing from there (Rather than my external hard drive) but still won't work. The files won't even open up a preview... i really don't understand what could have happened though - i've opened and played all of them when i first downloaded them and they worked just fine!
    i'd appreciate any help.
    cheers

    The fact that you cannot even mount one file or install another makes it sound more like an OS problem than a QT problem, though I guess in part some people deserve what they get with pirated movies through torrents. Have you repaired permissions?
    The files you cannot even use that are not the videos in question indicate your problems lie elsewhere.

  • Rendered movies won't play "...is not a movie file"

    Hi -
    The files I rendered can't be opened in Quicktime because "it is not a movie file".   I rendered an MPEG4, H264 and Quicktime with No compression.  None of them would play.
    What causes this?
    How can I fix it?
    TIA your input -

    OS X(10.5.11), AE CS3.

    Todd -
    AAARGH!  I've reported on the wrong version.  I'm not using CS3 - it's CS4 (0.0.2).  My big apologies.
    Thanks for the response.
    I tested QT with similar files that were made with AE7.  There is no issue at all.
    There's something with these files that were make with AE CS4.
    I was just wondering if anyone else had similar issues crop up.
    Thanks

  • Mov-av error message. This is not a movie file.

    Hello,
    In capturing a live HD file from my AJA IOHD in PRO RES 422 the computer froze at the end of the capture and forced me to use Force Quit to close out of Final Cut 6. The file is 112 gig and all the information is there on my disk. But, when I try to open the quicktime file I get the dreaded "not a movie file" error message because it has the .mov-av extenson.
    I imagine the header was corrupted and the directory needs to be rebuilt to get access to the file. Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to be able to open it without going to a very expensive data recovery service.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • QuickTime - "Not a movie file"

    I hope this is the correct forum to post this question. So I had a TV station send me a drive with some footage on it. They're not on a Mac and couldn't export to ProRes, so I chose PhotoJPEG from their list of formate they could export. I've have good quality results with that format in the past and have exchanged that format with another shop that's running Avid and Fusion without any problems. Their file won't open at all, in anything. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and was wondering if their file is too big for my system... 71 GB.
    Instead of five or six clips, they sent me one mega clip. I can't imagine if the codec wasn't compatible, that I would get that error "This is not a movie file." Usuall would tell me I'm missing something or play the audio only. The file has a QT icon (maybe just because it has a .mov extenstion).
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Ahh, I forgot to check that. It's a Windows NT File System (NTFS) format. What are the issues with grabbing a file from an NT formatted drive?

  • Error 2048 not a movie file

    QT 7 pro was working fine at first.Now when I try to play a video file I get "error 2048 not a movie file. The file plays fine in another player. Also QT will play a QT movie but not a file. I have QT installed on two computers with the exact same problem on both. please help.

    Yes the format of the files is windows media video files. They play successfully on real player and on VLC media player.
    They were also playing on itunes,but now they won't play on QT or itunes. By play a movie I mean the movie was downloaded as a QT movie. The desktop icon says QTmovie. The files That give the 2048 error have real player on the desktop icon.I have uninstalled and reinstalled, even disabling norton before reinstalling still error 2048 on QT. P.S. Itunes and QT were downloaded as a bundle, whatever the problem is is affecting itunes because now when i add files to library they don't show up.

    I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.)  It happens for about 10 of 30/40  files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

    I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

  • Can't open MPEG that opened before: "The file is not a movie file."

    I have an unusually large (for me) MPEG file that I succeeded in downloading and viewing sometime in the last year and a half, and I kept it on my disk despite its being over 3GB because I thought I might want to look at it again. Now I do, only it won't open: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." I tried using Time Machine to bring back earlier versions of QuickTime - 7.5 and 7.5.5 as I recall; I now have 7.6.2 - but these wouldn't open the file either, so I figure it may have something to do with a change in the system. In any event, should it be possible to open this file (again, it did open previously, with no problem), and if so how? Thanks.

    I have a similar major problem and wonder if it its to do with file sizes or codecs. I recorded video at work from a laparoscopic medical camera and output the video at the end of the session from the device's hard-drive to my 16GB memory stick. It is a 750Mb with file extension .mp4 and I now get exactly the same message as others if try to open it with Quick time (I can't open it with anything else either and nor could our medical illustration department). I bought the quick time pro upgrade as was told that would probably work and got same problem. Interestingly, I have had a second problem today having worked on a separate movie I put together in i-movie that I had recorded from a hi-def panasonic camcorder, imported and successfully edited (with ease) in i-movie and exported it "uncompressed" as a quicktime movie. It was only 5mins of video and produced a 15GB file. I wanted to save this onto a 16GB memory stick, but found out that the FAT32 folder system doesn't allow that file size! So, I formatted the memory stick to "Mac extended journalled", and was able to save the entire file onto the stick. But, now it won't open in quick time! I get the same message as above! Does anybody have any idea what these two issues might be?
